I was looking at that, and was curious if it worked. I was also concerned with the way I toss and turn all night that it would wake me 2 hours after I go to bed.

Ambiance, for those with trouble sleeping like me. Countless "white noise" type options to mix and match, plus fade out options for the sleep noise gnerator, and fade in options for your alarm sound. I currently use my own rainstorm, windstorm, train on the tracks noise to fall asleep to, and we wake to a Chinese gong that slowly increases in volume over 45 minutes so we don't get jarred awake. Well worth the 99 cents it costs

Can't really make guarantees for you. I can tell you it works fine although I very often need to get out of bed for a little while . It keeps a graph of your whole night and just shows it as being awake a while.

I just got a word game called "Bookworm". It is made by Pop Cap, the makers of Bejeweled, Peggle, and other good games. If you like word games, check it out! Very fun.

Anyone know of a way to bypass iTunes to load videos to the iPhone. I have some video files with quality settings that are not supported by iTunes but will play fine on the device. I just need a way around iTunes.

Justin how do you know they'll play fine on the device if they aren't already on the device?

The developer of the video compression software I use reported that the iPhone 3GS is capable of playing high profile video files that are not accepted by iTunes.

I'd ask the developer if and how he got the videos
on the iPhone. Without knowing more
it sounds like they are saying the hardware is capable of handling those videos, which doesn't necessarily mean they will work on the phone. A while back it was reported that a developer had gotten the 3gs to run 720p video. Yes, the hardware can handle that, but the firmware on the phone doesn't allow it yet so it's really a moot point. From your post that may be the issue here

Try googling for "iTunes alternatives sync."
I used SharePod once on my iPod to retrieve some music. Not on my iPhone though.
